In Jenkins' perception, what was in front of him was like a huge mountain hidden in darkness. The mountains rise and fall in the deep darkness, like giant beasts, or the corpses of the ancients. But what the eyes saw was just the blurred shadow of the mountain range.
If you just "look", then there is only so much fear in your heart, but if you want to "look" more carefully and "look" more clearly, then the mountains may completely swallow your soul.
The sublimation from mortal things to disasters is comparable to the sublimation from mortals to gods. The difference engine is no longer a difference engine, it is the incarnation of disaster, the incarnation of the eternal shadow of the entire eighteenth era.
"The savior of... the world..."
For some reason, the way of speaking reverted to the way Jenkins first talked to him. Jenkins was taken aback suddenly, the ugly sound of metal rubbing echoed in his mind, he actually heard the sound of gears turning in his body:
"Difference Engine, this is the final battle!"
Abandoning those redundant thoughts, he stretched out his hand and directly touched the ball in front of him. The arms and the sleeves of the jacket, as they got closer to the ball, the color changed to brass.
With the other hand, Jenkins forced his cat to keep it from moving, and his outstretched right hand touched the ball without hesitation. At that moment, he really heard the sound of gears turning in his heart, but it didn't matter at all:
"Mechanical Dream!"
The pull of his soul gave him the illusion that he was flying into the air, and the coming of the illusion made everything in front of him blurred. The flow of spirits builds a huge dream world that has already been prepared. This is the fantasy dream world that Jenkins has long prepared for the difference machine, and it is a big scene that he has conceived deeply.
Surprisingly, the ball in front of him didn't resist, and was pulled into the dream by Jenkins, but the dream builder also entered the dream.
There is no change in the relative position of the two, and they still keep touching each other. The high-rise buildings around me rise from the ground, the flat asphalt road extends from the foot to the distance, and the overhead flies...
The casting of the fantasy dream came to an abrupt end, as if the unfolding scroll had been abruptly stopped.
"Do you... think I'll fall into the same trap... twice?"
The scenes that are about to be constructed float into the air like fly ash. On the contrary, the doomsday scene of the land of steel that I had seen in the eighth layer of perplexity gradually became clear in the dream led by Jenkins.
Although both are scenes similar to Iron City, it is clear that Jenkins' side is more vivid and the colors are more gorgeous, while the scene built by the difference mechanism is only a nearly identical dim yellow.
The two scenes that were not very clear collided, and at the edge of the collision, a chaotic scene resembling a jagged shape appeared. In the chaotic scene, there are not only the pictures of touch-screen mobile phones running with steam, but also the scenes of steam locomotives driving past high-voltage transmission towers.
Jenkins separated from the ball in front of him, and each stood on one side of the scene he had constructed. Although the mechanical dream was started by Jenkins, until now, it is purely a competition of belief and computing power between the two sides.
"It turns out... so... you actually came from such a background. You are... a completely unpredictable variable."
Seeing this scene, the difference machine finally understood the origin of Jenkins, which is a secret that Jenkins has not yet told his ladies.
Its senses detected the structures of the machines constructed by Jenkins' dream, and saw those complicated circuits and integrated small devices. It saw the night view of the bustling city, and it saw the aircraft passing by in the sky without any supernatural elements.
"It turns out... so... that's why you don't agree with my ideas..."
The sound did not come from the ball, but from the entire dream world. This means that the Difference Engine is gradually gaining control of this dream. The other party was once deceived by Jenkins' lies in a dream, so while sublimating himself, he paid special attention to this aspect of power.
Now, Jenkins, who forcibly dragged the beast of disaster into his dream, fell into a disadvantage.
"Look at it all."
Jenkins said, with an unusually serious face:
"I have seen all of this, and I know that human civilization can continue to develop even without relying on supernatural power. There is still a road ahead in the age of steam, and the road that civilization is currently walking is still not the end. On the contrary, the world you build has no tangible in accordance with-"
He pointed to the back of the sphere, and the doomsday dim scene of the land of steel showed signs of collapse with his finger:
"This is just the possibility calculated by yourself. It is the optimal future solution for human beings simulated by the model you built. But you can't even discover the variable I am, so how can you get the correct result?"
Jenkins' tone became more firm:
"My thoughts and thoughts are all based on my knowledge and experience; and your thoughts and thoughts are just your own speculations and calculations. Difference engine, I am true and you are false, your world does not exist at all necessity."
The power of the soul rebuilds the city behind him, and then oppresses the other party in the dream. But the power of the Calamity Beast is far stronger than Jenkins thought. He felt something that he couldn't detect at all, like a behemoth coming, squeezing him into the corner of the dream.
Pollution spirits sprinkle the world of dreams, and the power of sin transforms dreams into reality. The city behind Jenkins collapsed again, and the dusk of the end has eroded to the edge of the modern city:
"The savior, the variable, has never been counted. Sometimes, the lack of individual variables is actually not important."
"But can't you see the changes that my variable has brought to the world? Do you think that the weight of my variable is very low? Oh, that's not okay. Just because you haven't found a variable, you can't think it doesn't exist , this is not your usual rigorous attitude."
The bell rang in the dream, and even though Jenkins' thoughts and ideas prevailed, he was still the one who was at a disadvantage. The land of steel has invaded the modern city he constructed, which is crushed by pure force.
"My idea is not correct, but yours...is it correct? What you see is in a world without a supernatural, but...with a supernatural, everything will be different. This...is the biggest variable. And you, also have no Consider the variables of 'supernatural elements'. It is impossible for your world to be moved here. You can't go back at all."
